Collection Overview

Scope and Contents of the Materials

The collection of fragmentary texts and images documents cultural expressions from the Caribbean and South America. The items consist of many of the transistory materials grouped under ephemera such as posters, postcards, leaflets, tracts, special editions, programs and menus published in countries such as the Bahamas, Brasil, Cuba, Curaçao Grenada, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Puerto Rico and Trinidad and Tobago.

This box contains several issues of the newspapers, Le Matin and Le Nouvelliste, two popular publications that originated in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti and have been released daily throughout the country of Haiti for several years. It continues to be distributed online and on paper in the present, and the articles are written entirely in French Creole and focus primarily on local Haitian news reports and events.
